Question

Hormone releasing IUD is

• A. Cu-T
• B. Cu 7
• C. LNG-20
• D. Multiload 475

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

LNG-20

LNG-20 is a hormonal IUD (hormone-releasing). It causes the release of the hormone levonorgestrel, that works by making the mucus at the opening to the cervix thick, stopping the buildup of the lining of the uterus, and it may also sometimes prevent ovulation. Cu-T, Cu 7 and Multiload 475 are all copper-based IUD's that function by the release of copper ions which disrupt sperm motility or may destroy them, thereby not allowing sperm fusion with egg.

So, the correct answer is 'LNG-20'.
